I recently had the injectors replaced on my 5.0. Ever since then, when I let off the throttle coming to a stop (5-speed) the engine "hangs" at 2,000 rpm instead of dropping to 700 rpm. Do you think they may have screwed up the throttle linkage or is there another likely suspect.
Thanks

Maybe some kind of vacuum issue?
I forgot to say that it only happens intermittently

Something in my memory says this has something to do with the 'salt and pepper' shaker eletrical connectors. I think they immediately behind the upper intake on a 5.0.
Try this link.
Could be lots of things.
In addition to the other suggestions it could be that your Idle Air Valve is on it's last legs. You can try cleaning it - that's hit and miss. It's easy to replace if you don't mind parting with around $60.
I have an '87 that does the exact same thing. If I shut it off and restart it everything is fine. It doesn't happen all the time and only after I run it for a few miles. If you find the answer please let me know.
Two things, if there's no CEL on:
Idle speed control and/or throttle position sensor
Also the harness grounds near the PCM are sometimes flaky.. pass side kick panel.
Actually anytime your car reaches the ten yo mark, you should take a nice afternnon and go over the entire wairing assembly, making sure all connections are intact and grounding points solid.
